Should you Buy a New Carpet or Dye it First?

A dull-looking old carpet makes the entire room appear dated; however, a replacement is not the only way to get your floor back into good condition. Dye will breathe new life into carpeting and save you time and money, compared with a replacement. It is a practical option if the pile of your carpet is still in good shape, but its surface is stained or faded.

Consider All of Your Options

For all of its benefits, carpet dyeing still takes a good amount of work, and it is irreversible. Before you begin to pick out dyes, be sure re-coloring is actually the best option for your problem.

If your carpeting has stains, ask an expert about deep cleaning. If there are just a few stains on new carpeting, it may be easier to just cut out those stained sections and then patch them using carpet remnants.

If you decide to dye, you will have to pick between spot dyeing to re-color faded or stained areas and dyeing your entire carpet to change its color.

Dye is a pretty inexpensive and fast method of rejuvenating a carpet and a professional application will give you amazing results. Although, it cannot always produce the shade you want, and depending upon the dye that is used, you may find it fading quicker than you hoped.

Do-it-yourself Dyeing vs Hiring a Professional

Dyeing carpet on your own is doable; however, you will have to approach the project carefully. An expert will get attractive results within 1 – 6 hours, depending upon the size of the room. They will clean your carpet, remove stain blocking solutions as necessary, and conduct a dye patch test. After they apply the dye, they will reapply the stain blocker then dry your carpet.

A professional dye job may restore your faded or stained carpet to the gorgeous floor covering it was at one time. So long as you do not mind having  and it is possible to tolerate some risk of early fading or dye transfer, you will save time and money.

It is possible to do the job on your own if you are on a budget; however, for long-lasting, flawless results, consider hiring the pros!
